Abstract

Purpose: The National Security Fund is a Kenyan-based agency responsible for the collection, safekeeping, investment, and distribution of employees' retirement funds. This is in the Kenyan economy's formal and informal employment sectors. Adopting human resource managers' innovations and, more so, the human resource information systems (HRIS) has many benefits for the organization, the employees, and the customers served. Therefore, the purpose of the research study was to find out the impact of workforce planning HRIS on employee performance at the National Social Security Fund in Kenya.

Research Methodology: The study adopted the descriptive research design that focused on answering the: who, what, where, and how questions of a research problem; rather than the why. It was, therefore, easy to shed further light on the research problem while describing the variables of interest.

Findings: Findings shows that workforce planning has a significant coefficient of the estimate implying that workforce planning significantly affects performance at the National Social Security Fund in Kenya.

Conclusion: When implemented, HRIS has an impact on organizational performance at the NSSF. Incorporating a Human Resources Information System into workforce planning increases corporate performance overall.

Keywords: Human resource information systems, Workforce planning, Organizational, Performance, National Social Security Fund
